The whole site

Every Page on This Site, Grouped

Every California page here, in the order you meet it: what the state licenses, the exams and their format, the code edition in force, your city, and the free practice.

How this is organized

Each page below cites the rule, the statute section or the bulletin its numbers come from. Where sources disagree, the page says so instead of picking one.

The 2023 to 2026 section crosswalk maps every section that moved, both directions, $29 once.

California approves electrician trainee schools and continuing education providers. This site is neither, and nothing here counts toward the related and supplemental instruction a trainee has to be enrolled in.

The certification exam is open book, but the books are supplied inside the testing system and you may not bring your own. The National Electrical Code supplied there is the 2023 edition. The contractor trade exam is closed book.

All practice questions are original. They are not actual exam questions.

Every rule here is cited to the section it comes from, and corrections are logged in public with the date. This is study material rather than electrical advice, and it does not replace your own code book or your inspector.
